Ok, there seems to be a lot of people out there that cannot seem to disconnect and cannot be themselves. From the Huffington Post:
At our recent panel at SXSW Interactive on women’s online “performance anxiety,” we talked about the pressure women feel to present their ideal selves online, but the conversation ultimately turned to the enormous amount of time the Internet occupies. While author Susan Orlean said she feels like she can be herself on Twitter, she admitted that social media “occupies mental space. It’s on your ongoing mental to-do-list.” The other panelists echoed this sentiment.
So there is a call to disconnect for at least 24 hours just to reclaim your mental space. Reclaim your mental space! That means no twitter, facebook, kill the texting, the tv and off the computer! In this time where everything is on all the time and connected… do you have the courage? do you have the resolve!? Take the pledge and prove it!
I for one, did not practice this, but I think its a wonderful idea.
